New Survivor Series match officially announced, updated Championship tournament bracket
- SmackDown saw a huge development as Bray Wyatt's Survivor Series challenge for a 2-on-2 tag team match was accepted by the Deadman.
This was a huge letdown considering earlier expectations of a traditional Elimination Survivor Series match, but WWE dropped the ball on it and what we now get is a normal tag team match featuring two members of the Wyatt family against the Brothers of Destruction.
Who the two members would be have not been announced by Bray as of yet, and it is most likely to be divulged at the pay-per-view itself. WWE posted this teaser for the match making it official:
Which two members of The Wyatt Family will stand up to The Brothers of Destruction atSurvivor Series? Will The Eater of Worlds step in, or will he leave the unenviable task to two of his massive henchmen, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan or the clan’s newest and most imposing element, Braun Strowman?
Don’t miss the historic match marking The Undertaker’s 25th Anniversary in WWE. What type of hellish penance will The Undertaker & Kane seek? To what lengths will The Wyatt Family go to dismantle The Brothers of Destruction forever, at a milestone event for TheDeadman, no less?
